Do you mean are there futures over the US markets? If so, then yes, there is. Quite a few of them actually. What exactly are you interested in finding out?

Thanks for the quick replies.

My understanding of the SPI Futures is that it is an index which can provide a rough estimation of what the All Ordinaries may open at before it actually does.

(eg. if the SPI Futures is at a 50 point gain at 8:00am, the All Ordinaries is likely to open in positive territory at 10:00 am)

What I am looking for is a similar index which may indicate what the Dow Jones Industrial Average will open at.

Thanks once again.

The SPI is linked to the ASX 200 not the All Ordinaries.

The Contract over the Dow is the DD or YM.
